This had ups and downs for me. On the one hand, I love this Boston Universe that Smith is creating. Galen and Rowen from "All of Me": were in the book, and had actual roles to play instead of just being 'hi/bye' characters which was cool.

The main story is about Pierce (Galen's cousin) who is an ER PA, and Cassidy an ER Resident. They both work at the same Boston hospital and they both have a bunch of baggage from their past. There's the usual back and forth and drama along the way and I really liked how these two characters and Galen and Rowen all fit together in the story.

Ooh, and we got an interesting look at a small character named Margot that I really liked too.

There were a couple of places where it just felt like it was endlessly wordy and it dragged for me a little.

But, on the other hand, holy crap, the Boston stuff! From the description of the reliability and speed of the T to the CVS scene. Oh, that scene was perfect. From the card to the reciept (does anyone know the secret to getting them NOT to text me constantly AFTER I've told them I don't want texts?)

In all seriousness, I really liked this book, it was the favorite of her books so far.
